It's Time To Make the Donuts

I feel as though I'm stuck in a rut. I get up, rush to get myself and B ready, rush to daycare and an unfulling job, smile and make bs chit-chat with co-workers...some of whom it takes every ounce of my being to be civil to them, rush to my mothers house to pick up B, rush home so we can have some time playing together before it's time to rush to bed, so we won't be off schedule the next day, rush to get stuff done so I can get to bed at a decent time, go to sleep, wake up and do it all over again. A friend of mine made the comment that he sometimes feels like the man in the Dunkin' Donuts commercial...but what is one supposed to do when they start to feel like this? Because I'm a single parent, I am limited as to what actions I can take. It's not like I can just up and quit my job or just up and move to a new location.

I took up playing on a co-ed soccer team in hopes of meeting new people, because let’s face it…between work and B, I don’t meet any new people. It’s been an experience, even though I’ve had to miss a couple of the games…being a mother comes before everything else!! There are only a few more games left and then I’ll see if I can persuade my mom to watch B while I do something else…maybe join a volunteer group, or take a class at the community center.

I look at my blog and have to laugh…I used to blog so well…or at least I had a lot to say in my previous blogs, but this one sucks so far…lol! I used to be somewhat creative…now I’m just too tired to make an effort. And it has been a pretty uneventful year so far…but I guess that’s a good thing when comparing it to the last couple of years.

I’m fully aware that I’m just in a slump and I will come out of it. At least I am not just sitting around complaining and not doing anything about it…I am trying as much as I can.
